lyrics

Revelations running through my mind
Grinding my gears,
Deconstructing what I thought was right

This crusade fatigates me
But I can’t give up

It was no divine intervention,
It was no hallucination
But rather illumination from a decaying social abomination

Shall I resign to my old convictions?
They no longer belong to me
As I change myself from this prison
So does the world as I see as it should be

This crusade fatigates me
But giving up is not an option

Such hurricane of feelings
My faith, my being in slavery
Calls up to hold your ground and fight, with bravery

Shall I alter my whole vision?
It no longer resembles me
As I change myself from this prison
So does the world as I see as it should be

Deep in abyss of soul
Lie heavenly aesthetics
But human ethics brought the downfall
Of holymost places

Hold my hand up to the crown of old Jerusalem
Soldiers, sacrifice your lives
And in your own demise
Turn yourselves against all of the lies
And now heaven shall fall

Do they really fight for your own good?
Do they really want the world’s good?
What's hidden in their wishes?
Find the truth and soon,
You’ll see, heaven shall fall

A real change, modification
Or an obscure continuation?
Clarification, now I know heaven shall fall

Elusive Reflections
by Persona

supported by 10 fans who also own “Crusader”

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
